Proposed Data Collections Submitted for Public Comment and
Recommendations
In compliance with the requirement of Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 for opportunity for public comment on
proposed data collection projects, the Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC) will publish periodic summaries of proposed projects.
To request more information on the proposed projects or to obtain a
copy of the data collection plans and instruments, call 404-639-7570
and send comments to Ron Otten, 1600 Clifton Road, MS-D74, Atlanta, GA
30333 or send an email to omb@cdc.gov.
Comments are invited on: (a) Whether the proposed collection of
information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of
the agency, including whether the information shall have practical
utility; (b) the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information; (c) ways to enhance the quality,
utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and (d) ways
to minimize the burden of the collection of information on respondents,
including through the use of automated collection techniques or other
forms of information technology. Written comments should be received
within 60 days of this notice.
Proposed Project
National Disease Surveillance Program (OMB No. 0920-0009 Expiration
4/30/2013)--Extension--National Center for Emerging and Zoonotic
Infectious Diseases (NCEZID), Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
Formal surveillance of 16 separate reportable diseases has been
ongoing to meet the public demand and scientific interest in accurate,
consistent, epidemiologic data. These ongoing disease reports include:
Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease (CJD), Cyclosporiasis, Dengue, Hantavirus,
Kawasaki Syndrome, Legionellosis, Lyme disease, Malaria, Plague, Q
Fever, Reye Syndrome, Tickborne Rickettsial Disease, Trichinosis,
Tularemia, Typhoid Fever, and Viral Hepatitis. Case report forms from
state and territorial health departments enable CDC to collect
demographic, clinical, and laboratory characteristics of cases of these
diseases. There are no changes since the last submission.
The purpose of the proposed study is to direct epidemiologic
investigations, identify and monitor trends in reemerging infectious
diseases or emerging modes of transmission, to search for possible
causes or sources of the diseases, and develop guidelines for
prevention and treatment. The data collected will also be used to
recommend target areas most in need of vaccinations for selected
diseases and to determine development of drug resistance. Because of
the distinct nature of each of the diseases, the number of cases
reported annually is different for each. There is no cost to
respondents other than their time.
